You will build relationships with Operational Policing Units (OPU’s) and force departments in assisting identifying causes of complaints. You will be involved in the development of preventative action and good practice principles for learning; encompassing the Code of Ethics, standards of conduct, misconduct regulations and informal resolution procedures.
